Fillmore Thunder Recreates Hendrix Sound Elite Tone, the Minnesota-based custom boutique pedal maker, has released the new ‘Fillmore Thunder’ a 2x channel guitar effect pedal. This limited-edition pedal effectively reproduces the legendary sound produced by Jimi Hendrix in the latter half of his career. “It is a revolutionary take on an old sound”, says Elite Tone President David Nelson.

At the core of this ring-modulator pedal is a 4 knob classic silicon Fuzz Face circuit (with the addition of a gain control and transistor bias) decked out with a set of classic BC-108 vintage transistors. The Fillmore Thunder Pedal is a two-stage effect. Most notable is the octave portion of the circuit, said Nelson. “This circuit was designed NOT as an Octavia clone — but rather as a practical and articulate 60’s sounding octave-up pedal. Our emphasis was development of the warm fidelity and prominent “steel drum pinging” octave sound found on such songs as “Who Knows?” , an opening number on Hendrix’s “Live at the Fillmore East” album. ” “We took on the challenge of designing this pedal to address common complaints about its predecessors – such as the Tycobrahe and subsequent clones,” said Nelson. He explained that these predecessors are often plagued by a lot of harsh tinny distortion. Another limitation is that the ‘octave sweet spots’ can only be played in the middle of the guitar neck.

Forty years later gobs of guitar players frequently approach new guitar effects pedals company’s in the hopes that they might some how get “THAT SOUND”. Digital products promise you the world include the Hendrix estates logo’s and look to be authentic. Some pedals have the right round disc fuzz face shape and often don’t the true vintage sound. Shortcuts in mass production manufacturing are common, few vintage or no vintage components are sourced and seems that these products have something missing. the search turns into a quest and. The Fillmore Thunder on the other hand is designed to one stop shopping for such guitarists.
